Creators FAQ
1. When is Doujin Market 2025?
Doujin Market 2025 takes place on 10-11 May (Sat & Sun) 2025.
2. Where is Doujin Market held?
The convention will be held at Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre (L4) Halls 403/404/405.
3. What kind of booth should I apply for?
Several booth schemes are available for creators at Doujin Market:
- General purpose booth schemes include Scheme A (a 2.4 sqm lot) and Scheme B (a 4 sqm lot with partition backwall), which are ideal for most handicraft, visual and literary arts creators. Scheme A booths can comfortably fit 2 creators, while Scheme B booths can fit 2 to 4 creators.
- Indie game developers can avail themselves of our Scheme C and Scheme D booths in a dedicated Playspace area. Additional chairs can also be booked for game demo purposes.
4. Tell me more about your add-ons.
Over the years, we have noticed that artists sometimes require additional space for their merchandise, and have endeavored to provide several quality of life improvements moving forward.
- Corner Booths (limited): These booths are situated at either the start or end of a row, allowing for better accessibility and goods placement.
- Booth Placement Nearer to Entrance (limited): These booths are situated in blocks closer to the entrance, for better brand visibility.
- Upsized Table (limited): A small quantity of 160 cmL x 60 cmW x 70 cmH tables will be made available at the show for artists who need more display space. These tables will be in their own similarly upsized lots. If you booked multiple booths, you must pay for an upsized table for each booth.
5. Why did you announce your event early/why are registrations open early?
Since Doujin Market is an annual event, we always announce next year’s event dates within a month of our most recent show. This helps cement our dates in next year’s calendar, and guarantees ample lead time for us to create the best possible experience for creators and sponsors.
Announcing our dates and booth registrations early also allows creators to plan and to make adequate preparations in the months ahead, whether for creating new art pieces, or for travel arrangements.
6. Is there a curation process?
Doujin Market has been curating applications since our inception in 2014.
In order to be considered for selection, all applicants are required to submit a link to their brand website, portfolio page, or social media account with examples of their most recent and polished work.
7. When will I know if I have been selected?
Typically, selected applicants will be notified by email within 3 to 7 working days, if your information is accurate, and you have included a valid portfolio link in your application. Do check the email that you used to apply to us regularly (including your Trash/Spam/Promotions folders) from the third day onwards.
8. Can I wear a costume while selling my art?
You are permitted to wear a costume while selling at your booth, provided the costume adheres to our Convention Rules.
9. Is AI generated content allowed?
We believe strongly in ethical creation. AI generated and/or plagiarized content is strictly not allowed to be exhibited or sold at the event. This includes written content.
10. Can I purchase additional creator wristband sets at a later date?
If you didn’t make a purchase during registration, you may purchase additional creator wristband sets during setup hours at the convention.
11. Can I change the name of my circle at a later date?
You may email us if you wish to change the name of your circle at a later date. However, each circle is only entitled to one (1) name change.
12. If I registered for Doujima but can’t attend, can someone else take over my booth?
As Doujin Market is a curated event, all exhibitors must be vetted and approved by us. Do write in to us via email if there are any extenuating circumstances. We will consider any such requests on a case-by-case basis.
13. I want to be placed next to so-and-so…
Since booths are allocated through blind ballot, we cannot guarantee you will be given a spot next to your friend(s). You can better your chances by ensuring that BOTH parties have purchased the same type of booth scheme (e.g. Scheme A) and the same add-ons (e.g. upsized tables).
14. I have a special request…
Any requests (e.g. accessibility options etc.) should be included in the Note section of the application form. Be as specific as possible. Any special requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
